However, this does not have to be the case. You may very well qualify for an innovative and creative divorce approach that is simple, fast and economical: our One Day Divorce focuses on getting the divorce done efficiently,  fairly and economical, with a timeline of months, not years versus the traditional divorce.

Here is what Leskin Law and Mediation may be able to do for you and your spouse.

The Promise of Oregon One Day Divorce Approach

A Better Process

In Oregon, getting a divorce typically takes nine months or longer, if not years. Leskin Law and Mediation is all too aware of this slow and frustrating process and the hardship it creates on parents and families. We knew we could do better.

Creativity in legal thought and practice is a driving force behind the success of Leskin Law and Mediation. The firm’s innovative divorce approach means that your divorce will be completed in months at a set cost- not in years and not costing tens of thousands of dollars. You can find both the fees and the available mediation dates on this website.

Our divorce approach uniquely combines mediation and binding arbitration to efficiently and fairly resolve your differences with your spouse. And, it gives couples the best chance to retain control over what their post-marriage relationship will look like since they are making all of the decisions.

On the items where the couple cannot agree, at the end of the mediation, and after having spent several hours talking to both parties, the mediator will decide the unresolved differences in accordance with Oregon law, the same way a judge would. The mediator will apply Oregon law in making the final decisions regarding property, income and parenting.

Leskin Law and Mediation is innovative in other respects. We have pioneered the use of gathering information on-line. You will not need to fill out paper forms and send them to your attorney. Instead, you will answer questions on-line and they will be transmitted directly to our office. Easy!

And, finally, besides not having to produce reams of paper, go to court to get interim support, sit through a deposition, be ordered to mediation, and then sit for trial leering at your spouse the whole time, all One Day Divorce mediations/arbitrations are conducted over Zoom. There is no need to even be in the same room as your spouse. (However, we will make accommodations for situations where this is not practical or possible.)
